New Delhi, 22nd Jan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his confidence on Sunday that the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya would be a “historic moment” that would enhance India’s rich heritage and culture, as well as propel the country’s development journey to new heights.
Modi’s comments were made in response to a two-page letter from President Droupadi Murmu prior to the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ at the Ram temple.
In a Hindi post on X, Modi tagged the president’s letter and stated, ” “Honorable @rashtrapatibhvn ji, Thank you very much for your good wishes on the auspicious occasion of Ram Lalla’s consecration in Ayodhya Dham.” He added, “I am confident that this historic moment will further enrich Indian heritage and culture and take our development journey to new heights.” Murmu in her letter to the PM said that the nationwide celebratory atmosphere is an uninhibited expression of India’s eternal soul and start of a new cycle in the country’s resurgence.
Murmu complimented PM Modi ahead of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’.
“…. as you prepare yourself to go for ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Prabhu Shri Ram’s ‘murti’ (idol) at the new temple built at his birthplace in Ayodhya, I can only contemplate the unique civilisational journey that will be accomplished with each step taken by you in the hallowed precincts,” she said.
Murmu in her letter also referred to the 11-day rigorous ‘anushthan’ the prime minister has undertaken, and said that it is not only a sacred ritual but also a supreme spiritual act of sacrifice and submission to Lord Ram.
“We all are fortunate to witness the commencement of a new cycle in the resurgence of our nation,” she said.
